I had a full blood count, thyroid test, kidney test etc.. done 2 weeks ago, in the last 2 weeks ive started bruising alot more than usual, I do bruise easily but these are all up the outsides of my legs, mainly my thighs, big 50p size yellow ones, look horrible. I am shattered and feeling headachy every day, all down back of my head, temples, ears feel full of pressure and sometimes forehead aches so thought it was mt sinuses hurting again.

I am worrying dr didnt check it right or something. He said i had 'no nasties' only low iron stores no anaemia so put me on iron, which is making me want to puke and I need the loo all the time:( lol!

I am worrying though about the bruising, tiredness & headaches. Am I being a daft bint?[:P]

No i don't think your being daft, worrying about illness is what we do. Im sure your blood tests would of shown if something was wrong. i get alot of bruises that i haven't a clue where they came from.

hope your feeling better soon

Yep Jem, you are daft, but then so am I
I feel terrible today too.
My head pains have come back this weekend!!! A dull ache at back of my head top of neck. Pressure in my forhead and above eyes. Feel spaced out and not so with it, am at work and feel like going to loo and staying there. Feel very anxious and jittery, cant concentrate.

I have been doing so well for ages, so am frightened I am back there on that slippery slope with You and Manmoor!!!!

Lets hope we clamber our ways back up eh!!!!

Hi Jem,
Missing you on BGH!! I was reading about a tip in one of the books my gp recommended (The stress and relaxation workbook). When you think get a stressful thought in your head you very quickly move your eyes left then right about 25 times. You can do it with your eyes open or shut. It sort of stops you being able to focus on the thought and it seems to work a bit for me. Apparently, the more you do it the more effective it becomes.

I'm absolutely sure you're ok - your gp has checked the results properly or he wouldn't have noticed your iron levels. He reads these results all the time so he's not going to get it wrong.

Love

No its not normal....and say this to your DR
tell him/her that you cant be expected to live like this, then maybe they can sort something different to take for the sinus problem!

Not more Nati B's
What about your ENT referral?
Maybe you should take your husband with you next time or Mum coz if your anything like me you tend to get a bit of stage fright when your at the docs and not tell them everything.

maybe if your Hubby goes with you he can just insist on a referal for you. At least this will help rule out things for you!!!
